Embroidered Easter Baskets

I found some free Easter-themed embroidery patterns around the internet a bit ago and was able to stitch the majority of them up. Once I finished, I had no idea where to put them or what to do with them.

I have this problem where I find embroidery patterns online, and I hold on to them for a while, and sometimes it either takes forever for me to try them, or I never try them out at all. Does that ever happen to you?

I am having problems finding where I got this pattern from. This is another issue that comes up when I hold on to things for too long... I can't remember or it's a challenge to find the source. If you know where this image is from, or you are the artist, please let me know!

When I made the time to work on these, I felt very satisfied to finally try out some patterns I had been holding onto for a while. I realized I could make little fabric easter baskets like the one I made over at Feeling Stitchy, and I was totally excited! Nothing makes me smile more than infusing embroidery into usable and functional items. I shrunk the size down about 3-inches, and made four mini baskets with the embroidered pieces on the front.

Now I just need to fill them with treats for the fam and surprise them with some handmade Easter baskets.

Your baskets are so cute!I sometimes call my craft room 'the room of good intentions'. I get things for a project & just never seem to get around to it. I sometimes buy the items I need for a project I've seen for sale at my craft store. By the time I get to it, I'm wondering what I was supposed to do with all those items. I have to learn to take pictures of the finished product I want to make!
